Bilingual (English/Spanish) story set in Reno, about acceptance of illness and death by a young boy and his family. When Tommy learns he will die, he withdraws and refuses to talk about his illness even though his family has the best intentions. Slowly, with the help of an outside spiritual director things turn around.

A small boy questions why Jesus is outside the church on Christmas Eve. He leads the pastor and the entire congregation outside the church and ends up bringing Jesus inside so he won't catch cold. Beautiful illustrations capture the spirit of this bi-lingual children's book.
